AMC have been having a 3 day 3 night Crazy for Stephen King thing and for a countless number of hours I have been brain hemorrhaging King cinema. I thought I would list my 10 choices of Stephen psychotica to flip out to this Halloween!
1. The Shining (1980)
A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.
A friendly St. Bernard named "Cujo" contracts rabies and conducts a reign of terror on a small American town.
3. Salem’s Lot (1979)
Vampires are invading a small New England town. It's up to a novelist and a young horror fan to save it.
4. Christine (1983)
A nerdish boy buys a strange car with an evil mind of its own and his nature starts to change to reflect it.
5. Children Of The Corn (1984)
A boy preacher named Isaac goes to a town in Nebraska called Gatlin and gets all the children to murder every adult in town. A young couple have a murder to report and they go to the nearest town (Gatlin) to seek help but the town seems deserted. They are soon trapped in Gatlin with little chance of getting out alive.
6. Silver Bullet (1985)

8. Pet Semetary (1989)

Their house is perfect, except for two things: the semi-trailers that roar past on the narrow road, and the mysterious cemetary in the woods behind the house. The Creed's neighbours are reluctant to talk about the cemetary, and for good reason too.
9. Secret Window (2004)
A writer is accused for plagiarism by a strange man, who then starts haunting him for "justice."
10. 1408 (2007)
